Subject:Kuniyasu print help
Posted By: Stan Sun, Dec 28, 2025 IP: 73.68.5.180
Here is a print I purchased in a lot last spring. The artist is Utagawa Kuniyasu (1794-1832). It was printed in the early 1800s. I haven't been able to find it online through image searches to learn more about it. It appears to be part of a series.

Can anyone translate the cartouche upper left and the text upper right? Thank you for any help.
